Talk:Muhammad Sultan Mirza (late Timurid)
Same as Muhammad Zaman Mirza?
[edit]Could he be the same as Muhammad Zaman Mirza?
- "The Indian feudal chieftains, powerful Mughal nobles and even the blood-relations of Humayun, withheld their whole-hearted cooperation from him. His cousins Muhammad Sulaiman Mirza and Muhammad Sultan Mirza, his brother-in-law Muhammad Zaman Mirza and uncle Mahdi Khwaja adopted an attitude of open hostility towards him. To add insult to the injury, even his brothers" p.148
- "Humayun marches against the rebellious Mirza (1533-34). Bábar died in 1530, leaving his successor Humayun to fight out the struggle with the Afghans. The first rebels who disturbed the peace of this district were not, however, Afghans, but distant kinsmen of Humávún's own blood. Mohammad Sultan Mirza, late governor of Karauj and Oudh, conspired with his son Ulugh and his first-cousin Muhammad Zamán to raise a rebellion on the Oudh side of the Ganges. To suppress this revolt, Humáyún in 1533-34 marched to Bhojpur, where he encamped, sending his relative Yadgar Nasit across the river into Paramnagar Yadgar's force encountered and defeated the rebels. It was ordered that Muhammad Sultan and Muhammad Zamán, who had been taken prisoners, should be blinded. But the officer entrusted with the order failed to execute it; and when shortly afterwards the two princes escaped, their sight was quite equal to the supervision of a fresh rebellion. Their first act was to attack Bilgrám, in the Oudh paiganah adjoining that of Kauauj; their next, to recross the Ganges and attack Kanauj itself. The city was then held for the emperor by the sons of Cyrus, his foster-brother (Khusru Kokaltásh); but these officers surrendered, and Muhammad Sultan soon found himself at the head of 6,000 men, Muslims and Rajputs. To oppose this respectable force the emperor's brother Hindál marched from Agra. He pursuaded the insurgents across the Ganges into Bilgiaun, where they were again defeated." p.147
- "Junaid Barlas served at Panipat. There were also family members of three important Timurids in the city, all relatives of Sultan Husain Baiqara: Muhammad Sultan Mirza, grandson of Mahmud Mirza of Badakhshan and son of Wais Mirza, who ruled later in Badakhshan, fought at Panipat and Kanwah; Qasim Husain Sultan Mirza, son of Husain Baiqara's daughter 'Ayisha Sultan Begim, who was an Uzbek and fought at Kanwah; and Muhammad Zaman Mirza, the grandson and last surviving direct heir of Husain Baiqara and son of Husain's son Badi' al-Zaman Mirza, married to Babur's daughter. He served in Balkh and later in India and contested the throne after Babur's death. See Humayun Namah (HN), Introduction, 16-22 for Gulbadan Begim's discussion of relatives in Kabul."
